How Much Do you think to repair this?
 

As the title says - I know I'm in Australia, but how much do you think it costs to repair this small dent/scratch?

Pics attached. Cheers.

Mallet and body filler or the traditional way of panel beating?

Not sure the difference but whatever it is to fix the car...

pull it out, then put a side skirt on top. FIXED.

My guestimate is 600-800-1000+ with paint.

I had pretty similar damage and went through my insurance, the estimate was 1200 USD hope that helps.

Bloody hell why so expensive

i guess that the side panel is the most expensive panel due to size and shape and montage.

The paint damage I had was a little higher so they had to blend the paint. Your scratches don't really extend past the rock guard portion so it could be cheaper.

$600

If you're able to find someone who can pop the dent out than you can easily paint the rocker panel yourself. You wont have to color blend due the texture of the panel. I had similar damage I was able to fix myself for a total of $30 some spray paint, clear-coat, and rubbing compound, its like it never happened.

Nice job! Kudos.

That's a nice cover job. Yea the hard part is straightening the dentist back. I can cover the paint myself. I wonder what'd happen if I pulled the dent. I'm just worried that I might make it worse.

If you want it good-as-new then bite the bullet and pay a pro. It's expensive because there's real talent and experience involved. I'm not a pro but have done enough to really appreciate them.

That divot is tricky and the fold in the lip may even crack if you tweak it too much.

That's the one thing I wish they redesigned about this car. That part is just way too exposed. Oh well. Hope you get it resolved. I was quoted 600usd as well when I had my red FRS.
